ペンシルベニア州立大学の生物学者たちが、イネ、トウモロコシ、小麦、竹などの草の進化的成功の背景にある全ゲノム重複の役割を明らかにしました。研究チームは350種以上の草のゲノムを比較し、全草種が共有する全ゲノム重複イベント「rho」と、特定系統での追加の重複を特定しました。重複遺伝子は環境適応に重要で、例えば、イネの水環境適応遺伝子やトウモロコシの乾燥応答遺伝子が含まれます。この知見は作物育種の指針にもなり得ます。研究成果は『Nature Communications』に発表されました。

重複ゲノムが草の多様化と繁栄を助けた(How duplicated genomes helped grasses diversify and thrive)

Abstract

Poaceae members shared a whole-genome duplication called rho. However, little is known about the evolutionary pattern of the rho-derived duplicates among Poaceae lineages and implications in adaptive evolution. Here we present phylogenomic/phylotranscriptomic analyses of 363 grasses covering all 12 subfamilies and report nine previously unknown whole-genome duplications. Furthermore, duplications from a single whole-genome duplication were mapped to multiple nodes on the species phylogeny; a whole-genome duplication was likely shared by woody bamboos with possible gene flow from herbaceous bamboos; and recent paralogues of a tetraploid Oryza are implicated in tolerance of seawater submergence. Moreover, rho duplicates showing differential retention among subfamilies include those with functions in environmental adaptations or morphogenesis, including ACOT for aquatic environments (Oryzoideae), CK2β for cold responses (Pooideae), SPIRAL1 for rapid cell elongation (Bambusoideae), and PAI1 for drought/cold responses (Panicoideae). This study presents a Poaceae whole-genome duplication profile with evidence for multiple evolutionary mechanisms that contribute to gene retention and losses.
